Tuesday 21st September mileage 10,437 Le Mure (between Grenoble and Gap)

Almost slep in and missed "le petit dejeuner", but not quite.  Nice breakfast of juice, muesli and yoghurt, croisant, bread and jam etc.  Absolute heaven a whole pot of hot coffee!!

Set off and tootled along the Rhone valley towards Martigney, then a climb up to the St Bernard Pass and on towards Chamonix-Mount Blanc.  Very impressive scenery and a beautiful glassier. 

Saw a cable car that looked to be taking people up to a viewing point, but decided not to bother. (Not sure about this decision now as later learnt that the cable car took people to 3400 metres ,an opportunity missed !)

No incident for me but witnessed another biker come off his bike at a roundabout.  He picked himself up and righted his bike so I assumed he was ok.  he had not been going fast so I can only assume that he hit a patch of diesel or something.  Made sure I was vigilant about looking for diesel spills at the roundabouts!

Missread tomtom in Chamberry city by-pass.  Tomtom then took me through the city centre and then onto a minor road to Grenoble.  It was a lovely run and a more direct route.

After grenoble set tomtom for Cannes and along the N85.

Stopped and camped at a site about 10km north of Le Mure.

Tent up and then into Le Mure for a meal.  Nice typically french restaurant doing fixed  menus at different prices.  Chose walnut dressed salad with grilled cheese and then a half roast chicken, followed by a cream cheese, then creme caramel and coffee.  To drink iced tea because I was on the bike.  Delicious!!
